Description

Westmorland and Furness Council came into being on 1st April 2023. It is England's third largest unitary authority by geographical area and it's most sparsely populated. This presents challenges in terms of sustaining and delivering services and requires innovative approaches and continuous improvement. The Council's vision for Westmorland and Furness is for it to be a 'great place to live, work and thrive'. Further information on the Council Plan can be found at: Council plan | Westmorland and Furness Council

Every local authority in England has the statutory duty under the Health and Social Care Act (2012) to commission a provider to deliver an effective Healthwatch in their area. Healthwatch is an independent consumer champion for both Health and Social Care.

The aim of local Healthwatch is to give citizens and communities a stronger voice to influence and challenge how Health and Social Care services are provided within their locality.
